Santiago Gimenez – 1% Ownership

UCL Fantasy Matchday 10 Best Differentials

Milan host Feyenoord this week, and they will be looking to turn over a 1-0 deficit. The Italian side have been regular goal scorers in the Champions League this season, and it’ll likely take a lot for the poor Feyenoord defence to stop them.

With a variety of different attackers to choose from, Milan are full of differential picks this week, including former Feyenoord main man Santiago Gimenez (€6.5m). The Mexican has been extremely consistent for some years now. It was only last season the 23-year-old scored 23 goals and created six assists in just 30 Eredivisie matches.

Charles De Ketelaere – 5% Ownership

Another side looking to turn things around is Atalanta. The Italian side were poor for most parts during their 2-1 loss against Club Brugge, but expect a major difference this week as they play host. Club Brugge have impressed at home on several occasions this season, but when playing away from home, they tend to struggle.

Atalanta are frequent goal scorers – averaging more than two goals scored per game in every competition. Whilst many will back teammate and fellow striker Matteo Retegui, Belgian Charles De Ketelaere (€5.8m) could be a fantastic alternative. Although short of form recently, De Ketelaere was arguably their best player in the first leg. It may also be worth noting that he has produced a huge four goals and five assists in just nine Champions League matches this season.

Karim Adeyemi – 6% Ownership

Dortmund may be inconsistent, and defensively usually very unstable, but they continue to score goals in Europe. As well as their incredible 7-1 win against Celtic, the German side also bagged three goals against Club Brugge, two goals against Real Madrid and two goals against Barcelona.

Nobody expected Dortmund to beat Sporting CP 3-0 in the first leg, but it happened, showing once again that the Dortmund frontline is relentless. They of course have several great picks, but Karim Adeyemi (€7.2m) may just be the most explosive. Many UCL Fantasy managers may find it difficult to forget his jaw-dropping 23-point haul against Celtic.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia – 1% Ownership

Brest have seriously struggled in their recent Champions League matches. As well as comfortably losing to both Real Madrid and Shakhtar, they were also of course dismantled by fellow French side PSG. What’s worse is that they face PSG again this week away from home.

It isn’t just the Brest defence worth highlighting, it’s the PSG attack – whom have racked up at least three goals in five of their previous seven matches. An interesting route could be new signing and former Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (€7.5m). The Georgian international has consistently caught the eye of football fans around the world for some time now, and he will be keen on making his mark.

Vangelis Pavlidis – 2% Ownership

For anyone who wants to target a fixture that not many others aren’t, then the tie between Benfica and Monaco just might be the one for you. Monaco have now lost three of their four previous matches in all competitions which isn’t a good sign.

They have also been received a red card in both of their last two Champions League matches with Benfica this season, which is odd. Ultimately, Monaco are worse away from home statistically, and in-from striker Vangelis Pavlidis (€6.5m), who heads into the game having bagged five goals and two assists in his last five games.
